Chapter 92: Get Out of My House
"Jiang Xue, I made the mistake, I’m sorry. Today we came to ask you to go with us to retrieve the letter from Cheng Li. Please forgive me for my neglect at work."
Only now did Jiang Xue understand why the two had come so early in the morning. First, they feared she would pursue the matter, and second, they wanted to retrieve the letter from Cheng Li.
The letter certainly had to be retrieved; after all, it was her letter. How could it be left in the hands of Cheng Li, that scheming woman?
As for forgiving Cheng Ying, Jiang Xue did not want to escalate the matter. Besides, she wanted to befriend Cheng Ying, which would make sending and receiving letters convenient in the future. So she immediately smiled and said, "Sister Ying, this is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it’s Cheng Li for deceiving you."
"Yes, yes, you’re right. It was that damned girl Cheng Li who tricked me, claiming she was a good friend of yours and assuring me that she would get the letter to you. That’s the only reason I gave it to her. Had I known she was deceiving me, I would never have given it to her no matter what."
Jiang Xue gave her an out, and Cheng Ying immediately took it. She knew that Jiang Xue intended not to pursue the matter. For this, she was very grateful to Jiang Xue and thought more highly of her, seeing her as someone worth befriending.
Seeing that Jiang Xue forgave his wife, Song Anping was relieved. As long as Jiang Xue did not pursue the issue, things would be easier to handle with Mu Qiancheng.
"Wife, Jiang Xue, it’s getting late, and we still have to go to work later. Can you come with us to Cheng Li’s house now?"
"Sure, I’ll let my parents know." After saying this, Jiang Xue found her parents-in-law, informed them, and then left with the two of them.
The couple both rode bicycles, with an extra bike for Jiang Xue, while they rode on another, heading towards Cheng Li’s house.
